EOD Status Report 10/18
Blockers:
- No blockers today. Just slow. Not enough time in the day.
- Was supposed to figure out how to have a local instance of tutor-gpt running so I could chat with Plastic Labs further about the feature i’m going to build for them. But algo’s took most of the day and I didn’t enough to time to get a proper local instance running. Felt mildly frustrated about that.
Learnings:
- Bunch of stuff exploring how to deploy an app from a company’s codebase. Also how to approach a new codebase (reading the readme, looking for entry points)
- How to deploy nextJS app to vercel
- How to deploy a backend on railway
- how to use useCallback
- I learned I enjoy working through ESLinting errors, it’s weirdly meditative?
Wins:
- It took a long time but I got a nice DFS animation that i’m happy with
- Seeing my remote frontend talk to my remote backend was a beautiful thing to witness
- Fullstack algorithms project deployed with frontend on Vercel and backend on Railway: https://malin-algorithms.vercel.app/search/dfs
